5 Climate variability A perennial problem for agriculture Australia: droughts and flooding rains
6 Responses Irrigation: droughtproofing Production flexibility and diversification Financial measures for consumption smoothing
7 Responses Irrigation: droughtproofing Production flexibility and diversification Financial measures for consumption smoothing
8 Modelling State-contingent production Introduced in GE modelling, Arrow-Debreu Chambers& Quiggin, modern production theory Natural integration with finance theory
9 The Murray Darling Basin Source of most Australian agricultural production Most variable of world s major river systems High rainfall variability amplified by evapotranspiration, groundwater flows Elasticity of 3

12 Climate Change Driven by greenhouse gas emissions Change in stochastic distribution of climate Attribution problem
13 Projections Warming of at least 2 degrees even with stabilization at 450 ppm This, and not status quo, should be baseline for comparison
14 Business as usual Implies high risk of catastrophic damage by 2100 Assumes discovery of magic bullet which will remove CO2 and/or reverse cumulative processes
15 Projections from the Garnaut Review
16 Rainfall impacts More spatial and temporal variability The wet get wetter and the dry get drier More extreme events Flood events exacerbated by sea level rise
17 Agricultural production Mixed impact for warming up to 2 degrees by 2100 Negative net impacts degrees Serious to catastrophic losses at higher rates of warming
18 Cereal price impacts of climate change (IPCC FAR)
19 Impact on Murray Darling Basin Decline in average inflows Increase in drought frequency
20 A state-contingent model Farmers plan production for Wet, Normal and Dry states Increase in drought frequency causes large reductions in profitability
21 Baseline for Murray-Darling Basin simulations
22 Median climate, business as usual, 2100
23 Median climate, 450 ppm mitigation, 2100
24 Policy implications Under business as usual, irrigation ceases to be viable Combination of mitigation, adjustment, innovation can achieve sustainable outcome
25 Concluding comments Risk and variability are central in agricultural production Climate change creates new risks, changes old ones Markets are a crucial part of the response
